On the corner of Debone Street, in the shadow of a certain building, Daniel Forlinster looked nervously at Mr. Partridge Jr. in front of him.

Daniel was born in a very poor family.His father was an old clerk in a tavern, and his mother, who took care of the house, brought nine children to the family.

He didn't have any naturally bright mind, and his family didn't have the conditions for him to receive education.If I had to talk about his strengths, it would only have a fairly pleasing face, and some smooth-talking abilities that he had mixed up in the tavern since he was a child.

He has successfully tried many jobs by relying on his appearance and pretended conversation, including the salesman of Meisi Department Store, but few of them can do it for a long time, because anyone who values ​​​​the actual ability, after getting to know him, I will never be fooled by his little tricks again.

Unfortunately, young Mr. Partridge Jr. is clearly not the above.

"Didn't you say it was foolproof?" He asked Daniel, pushing him.

Daniel took a step back in embarrassment, and explained, "I had already snatched her bag, but then I rushed out and snatched it by myself."

"What do I want to do? I want to know the specific content of their membership activities next month!" Little Partridge stared at Partridge's Department Store and Meisi Department Store facing each other in the distance and said unwillingly.

"Maybe try directly from Ms. Green next time?" Daniel asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Are you kidding? I don't even have a chance to get in touch with Eve Green. Can you get in touch with her? Also, didn't you say you knew the assistant next to her before? So that's how you knew her? Really Useless!", he glanced at Daniel in front of him with disdain, and kicked forward casually with his toes.

As the youngest son of the founder of Partridge's department store, he has always complained about his father's willingness to hire Wood back as a manager from outside, but he refused to let himself work in the store.

Even under that Wood's management, Partridge has been faintly overwhelmed by Max's department store, and the customer circle created by the newly opened boutique is not as influential as the membership club created by that woman Eve Green.God knows why his father never gave him a chance.

This Daniel is a waiter he met in a bar last month. During the conversation, he found out that he had worked in Meisi, so he asked him to come to his side to help him with things, but now he looks like he has no ability, which is really disappointing. .

Little Partridge took out a delicate cigarette case from his pocket, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He recently fell in love with this kind of rolled cigarettes, but when he thought of his father's dislike for cigarettes, he put his mouth in his mouth again. He took off the cigarette on the table and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times as if venting.

So he also missed the unwillingness and resentment in the eyes of Daniel who kept his head down when he secretly looked up at him.

……

When Caroline stepped on time to the rest area on the third floor of Meisi, she saw that Ms. Green was already sitting on the sofa by the window.

"It still has a good view here. After staying in the office for a long time, it makes people feel lifeless." Ms. Green looked at the sunshine outside and sighed.

"Good morning, Ms. Green," Caroline greeted, handed the folder with the activity book that was almost snatched just now to Ms. Green, and sat down opposite her.

"I personally prefer the folded version," Caroline said, showing two different versions of the handbook.

"Because the brochure will be distributed to each member in advance, and most of the members are women, this folding design will make it easier for women who have not had time to take off their gloves to turn the pages, and it will arouse their interest immediately. interest, and on the back of the brochure, we can also ask the artist to design a pattern, preferably so delicate that members can keep the entire brochure as a souvenir after the event.”

Ms. Green nodded, thinking quietly compared to the manual, Caroline was worried about disturbing her, so she didn't make a sound, but got up and went to the bar in the rest area to make a pot of tea for Ms. The accounts were recorded in the temporary account book on the stage.

"Caroline, what do you think of Max's Department Store?" Ms. Green put down the hand-painted brochure and asked.

"Max Department Store is now a leader in the department store industry in Chicago, and other cities are also very famous," Caroline replied seriously.

"What about the industry as a whole?"

Caroline now has a deeper understanding of the department store industry.Max Department Store is developing very fast, but it is undeniable that it is not the best one in the whole industry.At least in New York, the largest city, there is more than one department store with a high reputation across the country.

"I've been thinking recently, how can we become the best in the industry, and can we achieve it through these means? If one day we have become the best in the industry, how can we improve by then?"

Caroline didn't know how to answer these questions. She has worked with Ms. Green for half a year, and she has come to realize Ms. Green's forward-looking business thinking more and more.

Every time Caroline thinks hard and proposes some business and activity methods from later generations, Ms. Green can always quickly find out the core and how to better apply it to Max Department Store.

If Caroline was able to put forward various novel proposals relying on various "flashes of inspiration" at the beginning, then Ms. Green was guiding and reminding Caroline most of the time.

"In the beginning, I just wanted Macy's to survive," Ms. Green continued, looking out the window. Best department store on the street."

"Now, I can't stop myself from thinking how to make it better, not just the best on Deeborn Street, but better than this. You know what I mean?"

"Beyond the best in the industry, and then continue to surpass yourself." Caroline murmured.

"Yes, that's what it means."

The opening time of the mall is approaching, and many employees have already entered the employee lounge on the other side one after another. They are probably used to Ms. Green and Caroline appearing in the customer rest area in the morning.

Ms. Green put the two manuals back into the folder, closed them, held them in her hand, and returned to her office.

Caroline returned to the familiar hat counter.

After getting to know the important counters of Meisi, Caroline did not completely become an office assistant.

Recently, whenever a counter is temporarily overwhelmed, she will be assigned by Ms. Green to handle it for a while.

Now Caroline’s views on receiving customers have also changed. She doesn’t care much about how much commission she can get when receiving customers, but cares more about the sales trends of various products, and understands customers’ attitudes towards Max and its products. perceptions, and observing what kind of customers different salespeople are good at dealing with.

Therefore, except for occasionally receiving customers alone during busy times, she just assists other salespeople and gives the opportunity to close deals to her colleagues, so that her arrival is even more welcomed by everyone.

After she left the hat accessories counter, a new salesperson was recruited in the women's clothing department, but she left after only a few months. The new trial candidate has not yet been determined, so Caroline was assigned to the hat accessories department. The counter works for another week.

When I met Vivienne at the counter, the two were very excited. When there were no customers, the two chatted quietly without attracting attention.

"I really can't wait to bring you back," Vivienne secretly complained, "I had a lot of thoughts when I left before, and dealing with customers every day was enough of a headache, and I had to deal with her. God, when she said she was leaving I can't wait to applaud."

Caroline had heard Vivien mention her a lot at the Saturday party before. That salesperson had rich work experience in the past, and he won the "Excellent Salesperson" once within a few weeks of coming to Meisi Department Store. Wei An, the "counter person in charge" who was a few years younger than her, was not easy to deal with.

"We just need to receive our own customers. It's not worth wasting time on her. It's better to spend it on customers and hats." Caroline secretly winked at Vivienne.

"You're really talking more and more like Ms. Green now," Vivienne joked.

After the mall closed, Vivian took Caroline to her while cleaning up the counters together, saying that she wanted to have a private talk with her at night.

Caroline just didn't need to go to Ms. Green's place today, and it was a rare opportunity to get along with friends. Naturally, there was no reason to disagree, and the two went to the restaurant they frequented together.

Vivienne always speaks directly when things happen, and this time is no exception.

"Caroline, Jason on the second floor proposed to me."
